[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23649578, member: 43994"] Iirc the brands of flavoring I have heard of are flavor west, the perfumer’s/flavor apprentice ((they appear to be the same thing), flavorjungle (who apparently bought some other companies, not sure) also there is inwara which is polish and has very tasty flavorings but they aren’t particularly cheap, and I don’t know what their flavorings are made of (I don’t know much about EU law and I can’t read polish) they are the only company I know of that makes “one shots” though which are bottles with flavoring you add base to. They’re not super cheap, but they’re often cheaper than regal juice. I ordered some once and they took about a week and a half to arrive (I’m in Minnesota, USA) Some companies have flavorings that are better or worse or differently formulated than others. The difference between natural and artificial flavorings can be effectively zero. Natural just means naturally sourced, so they are the same chemical so one comes from a lab, and one comes from some exotic endangered tree bark or something. Flavorings are the most twitchy bit of e-cigs. The old move was to use FDA baking certified flavorings because they’re rated to stay stable at 450°f. The other bit is youNEVER WANT TO VAPE OILS EVER. It can get very bad. (That’s the whole thing with didactyl. It’s an oil.) So you need to make sure that whatever flavoring you use is oil free and heat stable. The way flavorings work is they are outline of the thing copied. Take an apple for example: a bite of apple will have several thousand different chemicals in it, but a flavoring will be maybe 10 or so of the most distinctive. An outline of an apple, so to speak. If one of those chemicals changes when heated though it could conceivably turn from something safe to something not safe. If it did so the flavor would likely change drastically though. In any case it’s a bit twitchy and is the actual basis for a lot of anti ecig stuff. It’s not that it is known to be dangerous, it’s merely that it is unknown.
